   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-1607
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Riley and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient
   to support defendant's convictions for burglary and assault; district
   court did not err in denying defendant's motion to sever a count for
   assault of a federal officer; no error in admitting 404(b) evidence
   of prior convictions for assault and resisting arrest as they were
   not remote in time, were similar in kind to the charges being tried
   and went to rebut defendant's self-defense claim; jury instruction on
   assault of a federal officer were not erroneous; no error in imposing
   sentencing enhancements under Guidelines Sec. 2A2.2(b)(3)(A) and 2A2.4(b)(2).
